I don't understand how the Ice Age works?
on one hand scientists tell us that all life has evolved from one single cell which then took 4.5 billion years of evolution to diversify in all different species of living creatures from ducks to dinosaurs , from fish to foxes , from snakes to skunks and from a monkey to a man.
So I am thinking of millions and millions and hundreds and thousands of millions of years of relentless evolution to morph all those billions of cells into male and female members of different species.
and all was good.
Then the ice age came...only 20,000 years ago and killed and destroyed all life on the planet including the huge dinosaurs.
but then suddenly , all the new species of creatures that never existed before in the previous 4.5 billion years, then suddenly they all appeared out of the melting ice.
So whatever happened to evolution??
why did it take 4.5 billion years before the ice age and then only a few thousand year to create a whole array on new species in only a few years??

Same thing happened after the Universal Noah's Flood of only 4,000 years ago.
again all life was destroyed except a few species in the ark and Voila!! creation is all new again..
evolution is quickening??

but if the ice age was so cold and long that it froze and killed and exterminated all living creatures on the planet including the gigantic and strong dinosaurs,
it means that when the ice melted thousands of years later, there was no life on the planet so life had to start again from scratch.
hence my question to the evolutionists, who claim that all life including humans evolved over billions of years from 1 single cell into complex variety of species and evn each specie evolved into male and female>>??

so why did it take 4.5 billion years for the first life to evolve and then after the ice age or the universal floor, it took only a few years??

verbal abusing and making fun of me without answering my question doesn't make you look any smarter or more intelligent than me whom you think I am dumb because I never went to school? At least I am keen to learn and nobody can answer my questions.

The "Ice Ages" did not mean the whole globe got covered with
ice, just that ice caps of North and South polar regions expanded
a whole lot.

Or so I've been told by the experts.
Who the heck knows for sure...

Logic tells me that both sides of my ancestry were here as soon as the
ice receded, though.

Finnish tribes and Saami from the East, Northern Germanic ones from
the South and Southwest. "Experts" may tell you otherwise, but I lean
towards this being self-evident. By the end of the last cold period, the
map already looked like today, pretty much.
The Nordic seas not that big - easy to travel.

Lots of scientific "fact" should really still be called "theory", in my
humble opinion.

Have you heard? Recent evidence puts real doubt on the Out of Africa theory. They found a jawbone that predates anything from Africa by a significant amount. Personally, I never did believe that theory.
